Sure, use the beforeSave and beforeFind on the model side.
class User extends AppModel {
// ...
function beforeSave() {
if (isset($this->data[$this->name]['password'])) {
$this->data[$this->name]['password'] =
md5($this->data[$this->name]['password']);
}
return parent::beforeSave();
}
function beforeFind($queryData) {
if (isset($queryData[$this->name]['password'])) {
$queryData[$this->name]['password'] =
md5($this->data[$this->name]['password']);
}
return $queryData;
}
}
This way when from your controller you are saving the model having the
password field set, it will automatically hash it:
$data = array(
'User' => array('user' => 'mariano', 'password' => 'password')
);
$this->User->save($data);
The same way when you are looking for a record if you set the password field
as part of the data to be searched for, it will hash it:
$conditions = array(
'User' => array('user' => 'mariano', 'password' => 'password')
);
$result = $this->User->find($conditions);
-MI

Para: Cake PHP
Asunto: saving sensitive data with md5
I'm using cake's MVC approach which works really great. I like the
ability to use the MVC and save from the controller; it makes things
nice and is very easy. I did run into a problem which I can't figure
out, however. Let's say I want to save sensitive information like a
password in the database. Currently, it appears cake will only let
you save in clear text (won't let you hash) in the default MVC
approach.
